Arabia Weather - In the winter, our skin is exposed to great challenges as a result of weather changes and cold air, as this can lead to dry skin and the appearance of cracks.

To protect your skin and maintain its freshness in the winter, you must follow some effective procedures and care. In this article, we will review some valuable tips for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy during the cold winter months.

Use an effective moisturizer

Choose a moisturizer rich in hydrating ingredients like glycerin, avocado oils, and vitamin E. Use moisturizer regularly, especially after showering, to strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier.

Avoid hot water

Hot showers remove natural oils from the skin, contributing to moisture loss. Use lukewarm water and avoid showering for long periods.

Wear appropriate clothing

Wear warm clothes made of soft, non-irritating fabrics to keep your skin protected from dry cold.

Protect the skin from the wind

When going out in the cold and windy air, use a sunscreen with SPF to protect your skin from cold winds and penetrating solar rays.

Drink enough water

Internal hydration is more important than external hydration. Drink adequate amounts of water to help hydrate the skin from within.

Use a moisturizing mask

Use a moisturizing mask weekly to provide extra hydration and replenishment to the skin, especially in the dry winter.

Eat foods rich in healthy fats

Increasing your intake of foods rich in healthy fats, such as avocados and natural oils, enhances skin elasticity and maintains hydration.

Avoid harsh chemicals

Use beauty and skin care products that do not contain harsh chemicals that may cause skin irritation.
